    Having gotten used to a 5000 mAh battery, anything with less than 4100 mAh seems too little to me. For my use cases, any average phone works for me.

    I find computers fascinating. It is amazing that having using a very large number of components each of which do one simple task really quickly we can build systems that ultimately can play chess or how well would an airplane move.

    I have plans to read books on these topics to understand how at a basic level computation works. I really loved playing games like Human Resource Machine, TIS-100 and Silicon Zeroes etc. I think games can help people figure out computers better as you get to build systems in a sandbox and see just how different components interact.

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention OP. I would check this game out. Also the books that they mention sound really interesting. I have found what I am reading next.

    In a forum I used, you had a username and an alias. The username was unchangeable and unique, while the alias could be changed and did not have to be unique. If you were using an alias that was different from your username, it would appear as italic and if you hovered over the alias, the username would show up. This is a possible compromise.
